I find this video interesting for a couple of reasons:

  1. all the data is stored in databases. Better visualization methods are needed to grasp and understand the information.
  2. animated data visualizations can convey more insights than stills can.
  3. Hans Rosling is not Tom Cruise. But wall size displays and gestures will be part of the UI landscape tomorrow.
